What is happening between Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and the Paris City Hall?
After announcing plans to sell shares of the club more than a week ago, here is the president of the Parisian club determined to go to war with the Paris City Hall over the Parc des Princes.
PSG wants to buy the Parc des Princes
"
We are no longer welcome at the Parc des Princes
," said the Qatari leader in an interview with the Spanish daily
Marca
.
"
They are pressuring us to leave...they are playing with us and we are tired
."
A media release in the form of a declaration of war with the City of Paris, whose relations with the Parisian club since the Qatari investment fund QSI bought it in 2011, have however almost never been altered by any conflict. .
A priori, the problem comes from the Parc des Princes, this enclosure located between the city of Boulogne-Billancourt and the Porte de Saint-Cloud, which has hosted the Parisian club since 1972.
Several months ago,
QSI
, the owner of Paris SG, informed the Paris City Hall of its desire to acquire the Parc des Princes.
A logical follow-up to QSI's investment in the club, which is seeking to carry out stadium expansion work to ultimately increase the Park's capacity, currently set at 48,000 seats.
“
We have been discussing their expansion project with them for a long time.
And one day they told us they wanted to buy.
We asked them to make us a proposal at once.
But it was very very very low, very far from the estimate we had
, ”explains the
sports assistant of the Paris City Hall Pierre Rabadan to
AFP .
From a source close to the municipality, the evaluation of the services is around 350 million euros.
PSG soon to be relocated?
However, the timing of recent media releases by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi raises questions.
Why make public such a negotiation in the middle of the World Cup in Qatar, taking the risk of having it derailed?
“
It's called backfire.
The president's name appears in a lot of cases, including one recent and rather annoying one.
By attacking the Paris City Hall, we no longer talk about the rest
, ”said a source close to the politico-sports mysteries.
In case of failure with the town hall of Paris, the PSG seeks to relocate.
The names of the towns of Poissy and Saint-Cloud have been mentioned for the construction of a new stadium.
The Stade de France, in Saint-Denis, could also become the preferred venue for the capital club.
